Bar food that was way better than expected. The grilled chicken wings (bone in, mild) were probably the best I’ve had in Lincoln. The nachos were huge!

If you’re a wings fan like me than you should check out the Watering Hole. Lots of meat on the bone and a variety of flavors. I ordered twelve and had to take half home.

Two salads were ordered. The Cobb and the Buffalo chicken salad. Both salads came out missing several ingredients. Eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, chives, black olives, and cheese. When it was brought to the attention of the server the response was they were out of eggs. No mention of the other missing ingredients. Offered a discount which is nice gesture but doesn’t help the fact that most of the ingredients were missing from the salad. The reason you order a salad is for everything that is in it. Highly disappointed. The server had no personality. Never smiled. Didn’t clear our table after we were finished eating. The bill was close to 90 dollars for four entrees.

Watering Hole has the best wings in town. We love the Old Bay Seasoned and grilled wings the best. Bang bang is also great tasting. They always have a decent food and drink discount depending on the night and offer Keno. Staff is always nice and efficient.

Very underwhelming wings, especially for the “best wings in town”. We had the parmesan garlic boneless wings, but it was really just chicken tenders dunked in mediocre (if that) sauce. The chicken was extremely dry and the sauce was akin to the flavoring in la croix drinks.

Piergoies were hard. Over cooked. The ends would break your tooth if you bite into them.

Great food. At times it seems understaffed though. But service has always been friendly and orders fresh. I’ve been here so much I know some of the staff by name. Matter of fact, I’m going tomorrow for those old bay grilled wings! Yummy.

Our server was the only pleasant experience. Wings were terrible and cold. Manager would not redo them or take off the bill. We will never return to this place. Completely disappointed. False advertisement in “the best wings in town”

It was definitely different from what I remembered, food was okay, our orders were messed up a little but due to the wait (non busy, maybe a little short staffed) whatever the case we just let it be, we ordered pretty simple. If I could do 2.5 stars I would. We didn’t really dislike it, but we didn’t like it.

Welp, here’s what your 13 bucks gets you for a veggie platter and what your 8 bucks for Bavarian soft pretzel sticks gets you. The only redeeming quality was that the wings tasted acceptable.
